    Windows 8 use security

    I have been running AVG for several years and have got increasingly sick of the unwanted installation of other programs when it is being updated.

    My question is:

    Do Windows 8 Defender, and Windows 8 Firewall, provide adequate security for a home PC ?

    We're fairly careful about sites that we visit and we delete all dodgy-looking e-mails without opening them.
